		Its outer surface is loosely connected by the lamina suprachorioidea with the sclera; its inner surface is attached to the pigmented layer of the retina.
		The circular fibers are internal to the meridional ones, and in a meridional section appear as a triangular zone behind the filtration angle and close to the circumference of the iris.

		The visible front part of it is called the "white of the eye." At the very front of the eye, covering the iris and pupil, the sclera becomes, or is continuous with, the (transparent) cornea.
		The sclera is attached by tendons to the extraocular muscles, which move the eye left and right, up and down, and diagonally.
		An inflammation in the sclera is called scleritis and is characterized by a clearly confined red area in the white of the eye.

		The sclera forms the principal part of the outer fibrous coat of the eye and functions to both protect the intraocular contents and maintain the shape of the globe when distended by intrinsic intraocular pressure (IOP).
		The collagen fibrils on the internal aspect of the sclera are arranged in a rhombic pattern (Thale and Tillman, 1993, IOVS).
		The sclera commences anteriorly at the limbus and ends posteriorly where the optic nerve perforates the sclera in the region known as the lamina cribrosa.

		The sclera extends anteriorly beyond the base of the iris to various distances (less than 4 mm), so that the drainage angle is obscured (usually can only be seen with special lens by technique of gonioscopy).
		This is a benign nodular lesion of connective tissue occurring in sclera, cornea, or third eyelid.
		The tear in the sclera can be anywhere and may even be posterior, beyond view; in these latter cases, the eye may not appear particularly traumatized, but will be very soft; the latter finding should alert you to the probability of a perforation not visible to you.

		I assumed it was a broken blood vessel, but have never had this happen to me. Is this something I should be concerned with.
		I also noticed that it turned a little yellow, but am attributing that to the healing of the bleeding as opposed to a jaundice situation.
